Delhi Police has arrested two men — Sameer alias Sadam, 23, and Mujammil alias Monu, 26 — in connection with alleged burglaries at two houses registered at Wazirabad police station in North Delhi. Officials confirmed on Friday, 23 October 2026 that investigators recovered stolen gold and silver jewellery, cash totalling ₹42,670, house-breaking tools, and a stolen scooter allegedly used in the crimes.

How the Investigation Unfolded

The breakthrough came after a dedicated police team analysed footage from hundreds of CCTV cameras across suspected routes, combined with local intelligence and technical surveillance. The footage from the crime scene and surrounding areas revealed that the two suspects had arrived at the burglary location on a white scooter.

Investigators subsequently traced the suspects' movements to a house in Bhajanpura, Delhi, where one accused — Sameer, a resident of Gali No. 16, Bhajanpura — was identified. The trail then led police to Shivpuri in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, where Sameer had reportedly fled on the morning of 14 October. He was apprehended there on 15 October with the assistance of technical surveillance.

During interrogation, Sameer allegedly disclosed his associate's identity. Acting on that information, the police arrested Mujammil, a resident of Sethi Enterprise Wali Gali, Bhajanpura, on the same day. Stolen jewellery and cash were subsequently recovered from the residences of both accused.

The Two Cases Solved

The first case — e-FIR No. 80086467/2026, dated 10 October 2026 — was registered at Wazirabad police station under Section 305 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) after complainant Sanjiv Bhaumik, a Wazirabad resident, reported that unidentified persons had stolen gold and silver jewellery and cash from his premises.

During sustained interrogation, the accused allegedly admitted to a second burglary committed a few days earlier at a house in the Hardev Nagar area. That incident had been registered separately as e-FIR No. 80080272/2026, dated 21 September 2026, also under Section 305 of the BNS at the same police station.

The Team Behind the Arrest

The investigation was led by Sub-Inspector Naveen Sindhu, in-charge of Sangam Vihar Police Post, and included ASI Anil, Head Constables Deepak, Sandeep, Rohtash, and Ankit Bainsla, along with Constables Ashutosh, Neeraj, and Anupma. The team operated under Inspector Prashant Anand, Station House Officer (SHO) of Wazirabad police station, and the guidance of Shashikant Gaur, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Burari.

What Was Recovered

Police recovered stolen gold and silver jewellery, cash amounting to ₹42,670, house-breaking tools, and the stolen scooter allegedly used by the accused to conduct reconnaissance and execute the burglaries. The recovery of these items has been cited as key to formally resolving both registered cases.

With both accused in custody and evidence secured, the police have stated that they have worked out the two burglary cases. Further investigation into any additional offences is ongoing.
